From the Baltimore.,"Ameri
Owing to the want of space, produced by the
great pressure upon our columns in reporting
the proceedings of the different committees rel
alive to the reunion of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac, recently held in Baltimore, we
have been unable to call the attention of our
readers and the public generally to the new
spring dress of THE AMERICAN building, except
to announce we had given the contract to Mr.. G.
p. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street new
number). The paint used on the building is the
liquid enamel paint, made by the New Jersey
Enamel Paint Company, which has been sold in
this market for fourteen years, and endorsed by
our late Mr.. Charles G. Fulton and by many rep
resentative men of our city, such as Mr.. Johns
Gilman, president of Second National Bank; Mr..
Jacob Hartman, president of the Metropolitan
Savings Bank and Washington Fire Insurance
Company: Thomas j. Myer, of Thomas j. Myer
& Co.; j. ID. Mallory, of Reuter- y Mallory; Arm
strong, Gator & Co. and many others. The selec-
ton and combination of colors were painted on
drawing of the building and submitted to Gen.
Agnus for his approval in advance of the work,
and we are most happy to say they have come up
to our expectations, and we cordially invite the
public to inspect the same. For seashore work,
which is so very severe on paint it has some
splendid endorsements, and we suggest, for the
benefit of our patrons, to write Mr.. Knight for
sample cards and testimonials.

the blockade and joined Kirby Smith on the
Rio Grande and was promoted to the rank
of major general. He refused to give his
parole in accordance with the stipulated
terms of surrender, and at the close of the
rebellion, i'll company with five or six friends,
he went to Mexico, thence to Havana, and
later he accompanied Mr.. Benjamin to-
Europe. Afterward he went to Canada, and
returned to Washington in 1866. He then
gave his parole to Gen. Grant and left

AFTER THE SHOWER.

After the storm is past,
And winds, health laden, murmur DER the lea,
And sing among the roadside trees, that cast
The gttering rain drops heedlessly
Long by the wall
Where rosebud petals fall.
Happy is he who roves
Along some unfrequented road afar,
That leads DER billy peak thro' perfumed groves,
Or long by wood embroidered scar,
And quatfs healths breath
On dew bejeweled heath
The afternoon was hushed,
And scarce zephyr stirred the golden rod
Or cooled the banks where dreamy streamlets
gushed
Down the warm glen in tepid flood;
And landscape glowed,
Uncooled by mist or cloud.
But late the sudden storm
Burst forth upon the low, perched hills and
dales,
And cooled and Swallowed deep the valleys warm;
And frequent show RS and fresh ming gales
Transformed anew
The undulaiy view.
BY the sequeStered road
Afresh the pinkwnk chirps, and summer sounds
Charm the far birds among the clouds, and load
The summer air with drowsy rounds,
While shadows creep
Slow from the eastern deep

Erastus wiman's Cyclone.

The old fashioned CHILEAN mill-fancy a
mill invented hundreds of years ago in Chilli
is still the only thing that can be used to
crush quartz in New England for paint and
porcelain. The old Burr stone, one grinding
crudely on another, is still the main reliance
for two-thirds of the pulverizing processes so
essential to human sustenation Yet two
young men in Wisconsin will make great
fortune-and hope to help them to do it
by Harvesting the cyclone, combining il in a
narrow iron chamber not bigger than a hall
stove, and making it do work such giants
could not do with trip hammers run by all
the power of Niagara. In all the wide range
of human achievements there are few things
which promise greater change in existing
modes than the simple generation of air in
imitation Of a cyclone, and its application to
the manifold processes of reduction to pow
der, from the soft and pulpy rice hulls,
through all the useful articles of commerce,
down TO the hardest substances encountered
in mining In the bowels of the earth.-Eras-
tus Wiman in New York Sun.

Now let me tell you about the natives
of this region. Poor things They do
not seem to know much. They are strong
and muscular and carry immense loads
on their heads. They have not learned to
carry burdens in any other way. One of
the government officials had some wheel
barTows made and sent here. He told
one of the natives to get one and bring it
to him, and the poor thing tried to bring
it on his head. And when it was loaded
four of them picked it up and were going
to carry it
The natives do not require any tailors
or dressmakers. One of them having re-
ceived present of an old hat and UNI
brella, put on his hat and marched
around under his umbrella, feeling as big
as a king. Bishop Taylor and myself
were present at meeting of kings which
had been called for consultation with the
bishop. They call such meetings "a
palaver." We wanted to establish a
mission, and the object of our meeting
was to ascertain whether or not they
would permit us to come among their
people. Our conference with them lasted
more than an hour,-Congo Missionary

addition to the regular army, which exceeds
900 men, the French have put on semi
military footing all the militia of the first
class and nearly as many reserves. AS these
are working citizens in time of peace, and
only to be called out in an emergency, the
problem was to make them ready for war at
short notice and yet leave them citi-
zens. The system adopted is called
the mobilization of the corps d'armee
The plan is that of Gen. Boulanger,
some time since removed from the Office of
secretary of war; but his scheme has been
carried out with signal success by the present
secretary. There are eighteen of these corps
darmee-each comprising the militia of a
given district. When the enrolment, ar
rangement and preliminary drills were COM
plete, it was decided to select one district, no
tify the men to assemble at once, complete
the arrangements and make the success a
test The district selected was in the south of

course they will

France can put into the field with marvellous
rapidity 10000 soldiers and still have the
900 "reservistes" to serve as territorial
troops. The rapid concentration proves that
every detail had been worked out The ter
ritory of France is compact; the railroads
center toward the north and east and are in
high state of efficiency; they can be taken
any minute by the government, and so, If
France does go to war soon, we may expect a
contest to dwarf all that have gone before it.
"Ah, if we had only been as well prepared in
1901" say the Radicals, with a sigh. But
the Conservative journals express hope that
this perfect preparation will prevent war,
and lie Monde Illustre says:
1--WE need not disguise the fact that this
great experiment in mobilization will be
keenly regarded by the foreigner, and that
on the activity, zeal and good will of each
participant will depend the impression it will
give, beyond our boundaries, of our military
condition. 1t will be a grand moral victory
if the foreign organs worthy Of attention
shall say after the fact is proved: France is
indeed prepared for any dealings with other
nations hereafter"
Three features of this mobilization are
strikingly characteristic of modern war: the
use of the railroad and telegraph. and espe

The Worlds Graveyard,

Considerable disputes have been had
relative to the space required to contain
the people of the earth from Adam to the
end of 6.000 years.
The space required is comparatively in
significant when the almost Incompetent
sible number of people are taken into con-
sideration. The basis of calculation is
presumably overestimated. The present
population of the earth is reputed to be
1,400, 10000 people. We have 113
years yet to complete $1,000 years, but if
we take 700 900, 600 as an average dying
every generation, we find that in the
$1,000 years, allowing 33 1-3 years to a
generation, $50 generations will have
passed, or 700, 000. 000x1 S0-126, 900, 000,-
600 (billions) of people will have existed at
the completion of 5000 years. Allowing
one square yard to each, they would oc-
cupy a space of 81, 44S square miles. This
is little more than one-half the size of
Missouri (63, 415 niles and seven times
less than the size of Texas (265, 7S0
square niles. Allowing 3x6 feet for in
terment, Texas would afford burial for
three times the number, or on the same
basis, would contain all the people of the
earth for $4,000 years. Allowing feet
to stand on, for each person, at the end
of 5000 years they would make "a belt
around the earth (25, 900 miles, AT deep,
